description | Testicular cancer is considered to be the model for the curable neoplasm, with outcomes improving from nearly universal fatality to nearly universal cure in the matter of two decades, driven largely in part by the accidental discovery and application of platinum chemotherapy. Such a diagnosis and treatment can have significant and long-lasting effects on patients, although with every such experience come learning opportunities. This autobiographical case report describes the author’s experience being diagnosed with testicular cancer, the challenges faced during treatment and survivorship, the lessons learned being a patient, and the way they guided him on his path to his current role as an adolescent and young adult (AYA) oncologist. |
